Hi guys, i am having trouble with my 01 S430. When i drive on streets I notice sqeaking sounds in the front left. I was told that it might be the ball joint but i want to know if there might be other parts to replace as well to improve comfort and driving.

Also, when i speed up on the freeway, the sound goes away.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

It sounds like your control arm bushings. . . . they are relatively inexpensive to replace. . . . make sure you replace both bushings.

 

it could be your lower ball joint it could be a bunch of different things thrust arm bushings. the 220 chassie had a lot of problem with both but without inspecing your car its going to be hard to tell you whats wrong with it
